Expectations
Successful students are involved students. Ask and answer questions in class, complete all work the day it is assigned and see me after school if you have questions. Seek out enrichment such as working ahead in Hecht, trying physics contests or online resources.
Students must attend all classes and field trips. When absent, a signed note from a parent or guardian is required. Students missing tests or quizzes will receive a 0 unless a note is given. Late students will stay after class. Unproductive use of phones or calculators will result in confiscation of the devices.
Marks will be awarded as follows: 25% for laboratory reports and assignements, 10% for quizzes and 65% for tests. Copying or letting another student copy tests or laboratory work will result in a 0 on that paper and the possibility of expulsion from IB. This includes copying data from your lab partner; you must copy down your own data as it is collected. Late assignments will be assessed a 20% penalty per class.
Have a one inch binder for physics and keep it organized. Students are expected to bring their own text and supply a sturdy cover, their lab manual, a three ring binder, a large supply of paper, a scientific calculator, and millimetre graph paper. Graph paper can be bought at a stationary store, printed out using a table or borrowed and photocopied. Students who have difficulties carrying their books to class can join me in the weight room after school for strengthening exercises.
